But that's not the last of the snow. Another area of low pressure is expected to move through our region Friday, bringing another round of snow starting around 3 p.m. in the west of our area. The snowfall should end by midnight.

Early indications are that 1-2 inches of light and powdery new snow will fall by late Friday night. Isolated higher amounts are expected near the Chesapeake Bay and west of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Roads will get slippery Friday night, so anyone going out should be careful. Temperatures will remain below freezing most of the time into the weekend, so any snow will stick to untreated surfaces and stay through the weekend.

A warm-up will finally begin early next week, with afternoon temperatures well above freezing, melting much of the snow. The temperatures should stay above average all of next week.
